__________________________
Total to Date: 1223 minutes

Summary: This is the most consistent that I have ever been with cardiovascular exercise as an adult. I have done strength and flexability exercise on a regular basis before, but have never focused on cardiovascular. I agreed to power walk for 30 minutes each day that I worked in the month of August. I missed two of those days, but did double my time com.itment halfway through the month and also threw a couple of walks in on weekends. All in all, I am amazed that I met as much of my commitment as I did.

Aug 6 - Took a tiny walk today - just 10-15 minutes. I am still hurting too badly to last much longer than that. I'll try it again tomorrow.
Aug 7 - no official walk but spent mpst of the day on my feet cooking. The knee is improving too darn slowly.
Aug 8 - did some gardening - weed pulling
Aug 9 - did some walking with Lucy practicing show handling. I also will walk the Village doing weeding withmy knee thingie on

[KristinJ]

Ok, I'll join too! I do my dangedest to get to the gym every day even if I only stay for 15-20 minutes at least I go, right? So I officially start August 9th which leaves 22 days left -- I think, oh Lord I hope my math skills aren't fading! So if I commit to 22 days of 20 minutes, that's 440 minutes so I'll round it up to a committment of 450 minutes for the rest of the month.

Kristin

August 9 -- 25 minutes Cardio
August 10-16 -- lazy bum
August 17 -- 45 weight training, 45 minutes Cardio

So go ahead—think positive!

Take a look at some of the posts with dates listed. I log in every time I exercise and edit my post. I add a line with the total exercise time for the day. I also like to keep a running total for the month but that is optional. Good luck with your exercise.

[ellis]

Jump right in, Islander!
Just use one post for your exercise, and edit it as you use it.

[Islander]

Barbara and Ellis, thank you. I'll start doing that, I need to do something that will help keep me motivated to do my exercise. I think this will.

Have a great day!
